that said Chevron 94 sucks LOL. Shell 93 ftw.

Point about the fuel lines is true tho. Short term testing showed I can run up to E25-E30 with no issues.

For those of you who are curious about the effectiveness of fuel stabilizers, check out Project Farm's experiment that took place over five (5) years!


Note 1: He tests using E10 fuel, so not E15 in case any of you are going to cry about it.
Note 2: If you haven't followed any of his videos, they are not in any way 100% scientific, but there is a method to his madness, and if anything, practical in most situations. This was an interesting watch.
Note 3: I won't spoil it for you but Project Farm's title already did - There really was only one fuel stabilizer that worked. Everything else is as good as Toyota trash.
